Experience the romance of traditional sailing on a schooner sailboat. Relax on the boat's comfortable seats or take in the views from the high perimeter railing. Have the chance to purchase some delicious snacks and drinks while you sail. Hop aboard the schooner 'Bay Lady' and depart from Pier 66 on Seattle's waterfront. Feel the thrill of letting the wind decide the direction of the ship. Admire sights like the Space Needle, Smith Tower, and on clear days, see Mount Rainier's snowy peak. Search for local wildlife like swooping seagulls, frolicking porpoises, and playful harbor seals. Unwind with a drink from the onboard bar or sea if the sailor's life is for you by trying your hand at hoisting the sails. If the conditions are right, go full pirate ship and watch the canons fire.

Visit the Smith Tower Observatory & Bar which is located in the Pioneer Square district of Downtown Seattle. Immerse yourself in the history of rum runners, guns, typewriters, romantic superstitions, and ties to Chinese royalty which are all woven into the fabric of this icon, which presents a window into the Emerald City’s colorful past. Marvel at classic architecture which evokes an opulent era, a backdrop of craftsmanship that lives on through carefully crafted cocktails from an unrivaled, breathtaking vantage high above Seattle. Follow in the footsteps of a century of visitors who have arrived here to admire Seattle from above, relax, and have a good time.
